In my last review in the Virgin River series, I said I would take a break from the predictable small town. I did - I started reading a couple of other books, but they didn't quite grab me in the same way as Virgin River did. They were tougher reads and I was struggling with them a bit, and I wanted to remind myself of my love of reading and thought I would smash through another Virgin River book to break out of the funk I'd accidentally got myself into. If you want to catch

Here we are again! As you know if you read my review for book 2 (which you can find here , and book 1 is here ) you will know I was super keen to crack on. I really enjoyed book 1 and to a lesser extent book 2. I was invested in the characters and the small town where the story is set.

I decided not to make official New Year's Resolutions this year. I find that generally if I make them, I break them. It's the pressure. Like trying to answer 3 in 10 on Popmaster. I crumble under the trivia presh . The pressure is too much and I collapse. The one resolution I have ever kept, was to read a book a month. Personally, I think 2021 is going to be tough to handle without any pressure to do anything else, so I am just making an effort to read more. No pressure, just
